OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and LIFT MAINTENANCE
LIFT OPERATION:
Before lifting a vehicle, insure all operators are qualified, have
been trained and are following all safety instructions. Read and follow the ALI
"Lifting It Right" manual
included with the lift
. Always use the "Vehicle Lifting Points"
reference guide when lifting a vehicle
(
CD included with the lift).

(see example of SAE J2184 standard below)
Insure the vehicle is securely positioned on the lift
using manufacturer's recommended lifting points.
Insure all arm restraints are totally engaged.
Never allow anyone under the lift when raising or
lowering it with or without a vehicle. Always
confirm safety locks on both sides of the lift are
completely engaged before proceeding under a
vehicle.
Lift electrical operating controls are located on the
powerpack (
one "up" button for raising the lift and one
"down" lever for lowering the lift)
. Before lowering,
slightly raise the lifting carriages to release pressure
from both safety locks. Two hands must be used when lowering the lift. One hand must
operate the safety lock release lever
(located on the column above the powerpack)
and one hand
must operate the "down" lever. Make certain the safety locks do not accidentally re-engage
while lift is being lowered. Customers and bystanders should not be in the lift area.
LIFT MAINTENANCE :
Before maintaining, servicing or repairing the lift, insure that an
acceptable "lock out/tag out device is activated.
The following minimum maintenance schedule must be performed by the owner and/or lift
operator:
DAILY: - Raise and lower the lift
(with no vehicle)
at the beginning of each shift to verify it is
operating properly and carriages are level. Confirm all arm restraints engage and
disengage smoothly and totally and telescoping arms have no excessive movement.
- Check all hydraulic fittings and lines for damage or leaks. Check electrical wiring for
damage. Check all moving parts for uneven or excessive wear. Repair or replace all
damaged, worn, or broken components immediately.
